First steps when you join
StepBefore you start chasing fast cars, spend a few minutes getting comfortable with your starting vehicle. The controls are different on PC and console, so check the layout that matches your setup. Once you feel steady, focus on cutting through traffic rather than driving safely — that is how cash comes in.
- Check your controls on PC the handbrake is Left Shift; on console it is LB. Learn these before you hit the highway.
- Start with your default car use it to get a feel for acceleration, braking, and weaving before spending anything.
- Cut through traffic swerving in and out of other vehicles is the core mechanic and your main source of cash.
- Open the garage see what you own and pick a car you want to work toward buying next.
Earning cash faster
TipsCash is earned by weaving through traffic. Two controls make a big difference here: the handbrake lets you flick the car sideways to avoid a collision without losing much speed, and the clutch smooths out your acceleration so you stay near top speed more consistently.
- Seek out the densest traffic on the highway — more cars to cut means more cash.
- Use the handbrake to dodge tight gaps without scrubbing speed.
- Use the clutch to keep your acceleration stable and avoid wheel spin.

Controls to memorise
TableThe game has a full set of controls beyond just steering and gas. The advanced ones — handbrake, clutch, TCS, and ABS — directly affect how fast and cleanly you can cut through traffic. Lights and blinkers matter most in multiplayer, where signalling your intentions keeps runs cooperative rather than chaotic.
| Handbrake | Left Shift on PC, LB on console |
| Clutch | Left Ctrl on PC, RB on console |
| First person view | V on PC, RSB on console |
| TCS (traction control) | T on PC, LSB on console |
| ABS (anti-lock brakes) | Y on PC, unbound on console |
| Left / Right blinker | Z and C on PC, D-pad Left and Right on console |
Building and upgrading your garage
CheckThe garage is where you store and manage every car you own. Once you have cash saved up, buy a new vehicle from the roster — the lineup covers supercars, hypercars, tuners, track cars, and JDM classics. After you have a car you like, take it to the customisation shop to upgrade its engine performance, handling, acceleration, and top speed.
- Know your target car check how much cash you still need before you buy anything else.
- Try different vehicle types a tuner or JDM classic handles differently from a supercar.
- Adjust handling to match how you drive.

- Use your blinkers mid-run so friends know which lane you are taking.
- Race friends to put your upgrades and reflexes to a real test.
- Join the official group to unlock exclusive cars that cannot be bought any other way.
